Louder for those in the back.

There is nothing "innovative" about control of capital resources.

It's senseless stories like these...

I have a #MutualAidRequest from a friend on my other socials, Victoria Stevens. She is a trans stylist in #yeg and says that due to a gap in pay and the bank being stupid, they are far from keeping the lights on and paying rent in the salon, plus there are plumbing issues in the salon to deal with.

Here is the Go Fund Me set up by her bestie: https://www.gofundme.com/f/t7zcpn-help-victoria

"What is happening at Boeing is happening in every industry. A general trend toward financialisation & hedge fund culture that sees only numbers, not peoples lives or wellbeing. It's just that aviation has a way of making the corruption impossible to hide. It's the dead canary." - Ben King

"The people of Gaza are not starving. The people of Gaza are being starved... starving a population to death is a war crime."

@kaia @silhouette
A lot of people, including myself, have Facebook accounts because of friends and family there, but no decent, normal, sane person uses Facebook anymore without having it locked down to "Friends Only". It's impossible to have a public profile on there, like on Mastodon.

Honest answer.

It is in the link from her own website for Robert Galbraith!

She claims, "I don't know why", because the name just appeared out of nowhere, apparently. :D

'"I thought it had probably leaked from the BBC," the author said, adding she had feared someone at the corporation had "put two and two together".

Rowling's secret identity was actually revealed after a partner at a law firm told his wife's best friend.

The friend then revealed Rowling's identity to a Sunday Times journalist.

"I was a bit unlucky the way it happened," the Harry Potter creator told BBC Radio 2's Graham Norton.'

J.K. Rowling also writes under a pen name of "Robert Galbraith", publishing over half a dozen titles under that name, most of which have TV adaptations.

Robert Galbraith Heath was the American Psychiatrist who pioneered Gay Conversion Therapy to convert homosexuals through electro-shock therapy.

@artemis This is exactly what they've done in my city, and as such the scooter share industry is staying as opposed to getting wiped out of other cities. Government regulation and control of private industry is important in this era of Capitalist exploitation and greed. You'll see every scooter share in the city now has signs on every scooter warning about illegal parking, and this ONLY happened after the City set up fines for the companies renting them out. That's how it's done, like you said.

@artemis Just how effective it will be remains to be seen as it was only done late in the season, but I already saw a very notable difference in that short period, with far fewer scooters on the paths. Next season we'll get a better view of the effectiveness of the fines.

It's crazy how much this happens.

When the true boss comes out.

Just thinking about how wrong the phrase is, "You have to earn respect".

No, you have to earn disrespect. As a human being, I'm naturally going to respect you if I don't know you. It's when you earn my disrespect, that I'll stop showing respect.

I give people respect freely, until they prove to me that they don't deserve it.

❌ "The middle-class is shrinking."

✔️ "The working-class is getting poorer, while the ownership-class is getting richer."

Lower, middle, and upper class definitions simply divide the working-class into income levels, focusing on how much they make rather than how they make it.

This does nothing but divide workers and distract from the real issues of how they're exploited. There are two classes that really matter: the working-class and ownership-class.

Solidarity to ALL the workers!

As are red cabbage.

'Any party that Israel calls a threat becomes an enemy of the US.

This attitude carries into double standards on respecting the rule of law. The US and allies spend tens of billions of dollars supporting the right of Ukraine to defend itself and resist Russian aggression, while denying that right to resist to Palestinians. They also seek to hold Russia accountable before the International Criminal Court, but shield Israel from ICC accountability.'
